My invention relates to paste jar construdtions and has for one of its objects the provision of a simple and ellicient paste ar aivangement suitable :tor storing; and shipping adhesives of liquid or selnbliquld consistcncies.

A further object is the provisioirot a simple and ellicient means for packing; a, paste brush in the jar with the paste and maintaining it seji arated from such paste.

it. :lurther object is the provision ot a paste jar COllStlllCt-lOl] with Sll l'lPlP and ellicient means for sealing the joint between the jar and cover.

it still further object is the jiu'ov sion of simple and ellicient means for adjustably mounting a paste brush in a ar.

tlther objects will appear hereinafter.

he coiluadimeut of my invention is illus-e trated in the accompanying drawing. torming a part of this specification, and in which i Fin. 1 is a central sectional view with a portion in elevation showing my im n'oved paste jar; l

l e. 2 is a central section of the same with portions ot the device removed; I

.l ie, 3 is a section taken on hne 3-3 ot Ihiex 4t; and

Fill. l is a section taken on line l--fl of ri e.

lle'lerring more particularly to the drawing, l have indicated a paste jar of glass and with a conical outer shape. it will be understood that any suitable material and configuration .may be given the jar 5. the upper end of the jar or bottle 5 s a neclt 6 having: an opening in its top and an integral spiral head 7 on. its outer side no vidiiia' a screw thread adapted to engage the groove formed by a spiral head 8 mired in a cap ,9 for the bottle. with tl. arran ren'ient the cap 9 may be attached to the neclt 6 by engaging; the threads i and d. This arrangement also provides a detachable connection between the cover 9 and hot tle 5.

ltittending upwardly from the cover 9 1s a hollow projection or LlOll'lO 10. The cover 9 and extension 10 are preferably of thin sheet metal but may be formed cl any desirable substance. I have shown the part 1.0 as being fitted rigidly to an opening in cup 9 but it will be understood that the er;-

tension 10 may be attached to the cover 9 in any desirable manner.

The hollow part of extension 10 provides a housing for the upper part of a paste brush 11 which extends downwardly into the bottle 5. lying on the top of necl; (l a disc 12 which only he oi cork or any other desirable substance and provides a gasket for sealing the joint between the cap 9 and the bottle 5: The central part o't disc 12 is perforated and a well or tubular member 13 extended through said perforation and down into the interior of the bottle or jar 5 so as to provide a well for the bottom of brush ll. The tubular member 13 may be lin'n'ied oft glass, pai'ailined paper, or any other desirable substance impervious to the adhesive mixture in the jar. The member 13 may be attached to the disc 12 in any desirable man nor, such as by providing an integral flange Ll at the top oil the member 13 which FOE-ht; on the upper side oi? the disc 12 around the perforation therein. The joint between the disc 12 and the men'lber 13 may he termed tight so as to prevent the passage of the adhesive into the tube 13, or the joint between the disc l2 and tube 13 may be pro vided with a coat of paratline or some other suitable material to seal the joint and prevent the adhesive from coming in contact with the brush ll.

i-"r disc 15 preferably of metal is positioned above the disc 12 and provided with an annular flange of metal 16 around a central opening With a plurality 0t parts cut out forming; tongues or springs 17 which are adapted to 'i rictionally ei'ie age the sides of the handle ot brush '11 to hold the latter in a manner to permit such brush bcin r adj usted to different heights so that the bristles ot the brush may be held at a desired height in the adhesive inatt ial in jar 5. These tongues 11'? provide :trictional means so that the brush can be moved upwardly or downwardly very easily and yetbe held firmly in desired positions. The disc 15 is further provided with a depending annular metal head 18 Which 'irovides a spacing member tor holding the disc 15 centrally oi. the open ing in neck 6 when the cover removed from the bottle.

When the disc 15. is in position such indicated in Fig. 1, additional clearance tor the head 18 may he provided by an annular lifi tlfl

loo

spacing washer 19 which may also be provided of cork, rubber, or other material to facilitate making a tight oint. This washer 19 may be dispensed with, however, when so desired.

The arrangement shown has a decided advantagein that the brush 11 can be melted within the jar and kept from coming in actual contact with the adhesive until it is desired to use the latter. Where the brush is shipped outside or separate from the jar such brush might become lost in shipment or storage, while when packed as shown herein, the brush is always in the bottle ready for use and with the particular arrangement can be kept from coming in con tact with the adhesive until. the latter is to be used. The disc 12 and tubular well 13, as indicated above, are formed of materials impervious to the adhesive so as to protect the brush while being shipped, packed, sthred, or waiting on the shelves ol a retail merchant for the final user. 7 hen the adhesive is to be used the cap 9 with the dome 10 attached is unscrewed and disc removed together with the brush 11. The tube 13 and disc 12 are then removed and may be discarded if desired. The disc 15 with the brush 11 attached is then placed in the position indicated in Fig. 2 and cap 9 adjusted to its position. This permits the brush to dip into the adhesive in jar 5 and the brush can be adjusted to different levels *by simply moving the latter up and down against tie pressure exerted by springs 17.

This device is particularly adapted for use in connection with liquid adhesives, such as mucilage or liquid paste. It is important to keep the brush out of the adhesive until the latter is to be used for the reason that the moisture of the adhesive causes the brush to deteriorate and render it unfit for use. The provision of the well for the brush until the latter is to be used in the adhesive is an important feature of this improvement. The device is also very compact in that the brush is packed in the jar and therefore cannot easily become lost or injured.

During shipments the liquid paste is sealed in the bottle or jar while the brush is confined in a very compact manner to a dry space effectually sealed from the liquid paste compartment. lVhen the cap 9 is removed the dome 10 is also removed since the latter is permanently secured to the cap 9. Preferably, when the bottle or jar lilled with liquid paste is to be shipped the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 1, but in the event that the brushes are shipped separate ly the tube 13 may be omitted and the disc 12 provided without a central perforation so that when the parts are assembled the dome will be sealed from the paste compare ment by the cap 9 being drawn by the thread 7 against the peripheral edge of the disc It is also preferred to u e the centering bead 18 constructed as shown in Fig. i), hul if this is on'iiltcd the washer 19 in also be omitted since this washer is 1: spur- 1" for the centering hca as h wn in Fig. i. The simplicity o; the con clion in use is illustrated in F1 lzccunsc the inner plalc by movingthe hrush h: nlle eilhcr up or down against the l'riclion oi? the spring.
